“One of the best rides on the central coast - a true point to point across the southern Los Padres. ”

Description

This is a shuttle no matter how you shake it, but it can be shorter or longer depending on if you begin from new Cuyama or Santa Barbara. Regardless this trail starts with a massive climb right off the bat. Once up on the ridgeline, you begin flowing up and down small peaks and doldrums of dirt road. Beautiful views to the north and south, multiple ecosystems from pine forest to desert. It is one of the finest parts of California as a whole.
